CINNAMON ROLL CUPCAKES

Sometimes you need a good Cinnamon Roll or even an Orange roll, but you just don’t have the time it takes to make homemade rolls! My favorite rolls are . . . ” ORANGE ROLLS TO DIE FOR “ but that is a long project for another day and another time. What to do  ….

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - Angela,

Thank You!

JonnaDecember 26, 2012 – 4:12 pm

Angela Hutchins - I just found your website and i’m in love!! thanks for all the yummy ideas!!!December 26, 2012 – 11:54 am

Mandy - These were AMAZING! Loved them. Next time, I don’t think I’ll put them in cupcake liners because they stuck to the paper. But other than that, they were fantastic. Everyone loved them.September 7, 2012 – 11:23 pm

Jonna - Hi mimmie,

Just use any bread dough made from scratch.
JonnaAugust 29, 2012 – 1:16 pm

minnieverma - your recipe is very impressive and tempting but we do not get the frozen dough in India so could you please help me with the recipe from scratchAugust 28, 2012 – 12:01 am

Jonna - Hi Stacy,

Stacy Johnson - My husband is not a cinnamon roll fan, but loves the orange rolls. May I have the recipe for them please?May 25, 2012 – 8:44 am

kimberly hurd - I make cinnamon rolls quite often. (may favorite treat) I have never thought to make these into cupcakes. I LOVE this idea. thank you. I am glad I found your site through pinterest.February 13, 2012 – 11:18 am

mickey - I love these. You make them looks so easy, I have to try them out. Thanks.
mickeyDecember 19, 2011 – 6:00 pm

Katherine Avery - Can you put these together the night before, store them in the fridge and bake them in the morning? These look perfect for my MOPS group but I don’t think I could get everyone ready to go and put this together before 9am. I know that sounds ridiculous but you have no idea how hard it is to get my three year old son to stand still long enough to put on pants! :) December 18, 2011 – 8:14 am

Susie Holladay - I love the sound of these recipes and the pink bracelet is delightful.November 25, 2011 – 4:34 pm

Amanda - O M G!!! I just made these puppies and am in LOVE! This is my new ” GO TO” special birthday breakfast in our house. I actually just made them for my miamaid class tomorrow. HEavenly! Thanks for all your great ideas and for not helping me lose the last 10lbs. hee heeSeptember 10, 2011 – 1:51 pm

debbie - Those look so amazing, am going to definately make these, thanks for sharing :-) June 19, 2011 – 9:21 pm

gloria - these cinnamon rolls are amazing, to die for!! gloriaJune 10, 2011 – 1:58 pm

Gypsy Girl - O-M-G! Okay, so it was my good luck that I found a pack of 36 frozen rolls at Ralph’s Market in my neighborhood. I used 15 of these small rolls to make the dough. Wow! These rolls are amazing! I made them for dessert last night and I just had one this morning for breakfast. Try them, they’re great! Thanks for the wonderful recipe, I’ll be making these often!June 10, 2011 – 9:51 am

Jonna - Hi Gypsy Girl,
I used the frozen Rhodes Rolls, but the frozen loaves of bread dough would also work just as well,
or even easier. If you can’t find Rhodes brand, possibly you have another brand available in your freezer
section.June 7, 2011 – 1:30 pm

Gypsy Girl - I’m in Los Angeles and the only Rhodes Rolls products available here are the rolls =/ Any suggestions for other brands? I have to make these!!June 7, 2011 – 12:51 pm

Haley Jolley - Oooh, an extra entry! And now you’re making me crave cinnamon rolls along with 40 other desserts from your site. That’s such a good idea, thank you for sharing your secrets with us!June 6, 2011 – 4:54 pm

Ma What's For Dinner - See, now you’re a woman after my own heart. Sometimes if you’ve got yourself a craving you can use the storebought stuff to help you along…And if you’re like me and just a novice baker, it’s even better!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the name of your blog. That’s me…I need to learn to bake. I’m getting there slowly but I can tell I’m going to like it here…It’s my first time here…thanks so much for the inspiration! I’ll be back soon for sure.

Lots of yummy love,
Alex aka Ma, What’s For Dinner

Cheri - I have a coupon for Rhodes, more reason to try these.June 6, 2011 – 3:19 pm

Aimee - Wow, those look scrumptious! I want one. Now. I’m so impatient!June 6, 2011 – 2:29 pm

Heidi - I had to make these because they are so stinking CUTE! The kids loved them, and they are the perfect size for little fingers. Keep it up A. Jonna!June 5, 2011 – 11:08 pm

Charity - I NEVER thought about using Rhodes Rolls as a start for cinn. rolls! It’s pretty much ingenious.:) But since I finally talked the hubby into getting me my beautiful kitchenaid, I won’t need it. lol The kids will LOVE the cupcakes – I can’t wait to try them. mmmmmmmJune 5, 2011 – 12:58 am

Staci - These look wonderful! I think it would be easier to just get the whole loaf of bread dough….and then roll it out…..instead of putting the individuals together. I’m going to give these a try. mmmm!June 4, 2011 – 3:16 pm

Lynn - We don’t have that frozen dough up here in these parts. *sigh* Looks like I need to move there!!!! ; D

Such a great idea, though. Will have to make some dough in a big batch and just keep my own freezer dough around.June 4, 2011 – 12:06 am

Michelle - These look wonderful! I do a similar trick, I use the bisquick receipe for biscuits. Probably not as good as the Rhodes but really fast. I then roll it in a log like you did, but I have always used unlavored dental floss instead of thread to cut the rolls. What I really like about this idea is the making them as cupcakes, I have always cut mine and baked them like biscuits. Can’t wait to try these! Thank you for sharing!June 3, 2011 – 9:34 pm

jean - OH, I’m gonna look so cute wearin’ my pinkalicious bracelet when I’m making these DIVINE rolls! Can’t wait to try ‘em :) June 3, 2011 – 9:12 pm

Ashley R. - Can someone please come wipe the drool off my keyboard please?! this will make an easy summer project for my girls and I.

I would thrill for another entry! I love the cotton candy bracelet. They are so pretty and feminine. I am not huge into jewelry but these bracelets seem to be just my cup of tea.June 3, 2011 – 1:49 pm

Jonna - Mindy,
The loaf would also work perfectly!
JonnaJune 3, 2011 – 9:56 am

Mindy - Do you have to use Rhoades Rolls or could you use the Rhoades bread loaf?June 3, 2011 – 9:29 am

Erin - Great idea using thread to cut the dough, they look perfect!June 3, 2011 – 9:02 am

Debby Pucci - These sound awesome and I love Rhodes rolls.June 3, 2011 – 8:42 am

Hailey - WOW! Those are adorable! Just the right size, too. Thank you SO much for sharing your talents with us! You’re amazing!June 3, 2011 – 8:23 am

Sandi - good idea! I will have to try this for sure.June 3, 2011 – 7:42 am

kelley {mountain mama cooks} - OMG- these look divine. I love the ease of them and can’t wait to make them for my family. And I LOVE those little dishes you photographed them in!June 3, 2011 – 7:36 am

Shelly - The icing is always my favorite part of cinnamon rolls!June 3, 2011 – 7:07 am

brooke Vanausdal - I saw the title for this and thought “WHAT!!!!!” Ciniman roll as a cupcake? Why didn’t I think of this (not that I bake or anything) I can’t wait to do this. Thanks for your blog its fabulousJune 3, 2011 – 5:39 am

Myrnie - You are so funny- you must love comments as much as I do! These seem like the edges would stay nice and moist, yum! Sometimes, as a treat, I will make one loaf out if a batch into cinnamon swirl bread….it’s this, without the slicing! Now why didn’t I ever think if slicing it into servings like this and slathering frosting on top?? Yum :) June 3, 2011 – 4:40 am

Jenn - Extra entry!! Plus those cupcakes/rolls look sinfully good (and easy to make)June 2, 2011 – 9:13 pm

Ali - I am so on board with the shortcut of using the frozen dough. I just don’t have the space or energy to make dough from scratch anymore.

Yours turned out so beautiful! And that icing, ooo boy. Tasty stuff :) June 2, 2011 – 8:27 pm

Jonna - I will add your entries Diana!June 2, 2011 – 8:14 pm

Diana B - OK, I am totally trying this!! I made a comment under the last post and tried to leave a comment on the Bitz of Glitz blog but it wouldn’t go through…I kept signing in and it would just kick back out!!! I love those bracelets…my favorite was the Simplicity one…I will try again but it’s not letting me post =(June 2, 2011 – 8:12 pm

“Bitz of Glitz” – Giveaway & my favorite Beef or Chicken Marinade

Summer . . . if it does actually come, it means grilling time. I think Idaho is stuck in Spring. Nevertheless . . . I’m grilling through the snow, hail, rain and mostly the wind! It’s also fun to make Beef or Chicken Kabobs . . . layer some veggies in between if you like….

Lynn - Oh I am all over this marinade for our next BBQ! Love it.June 4, 2011 – 12:09 am

If I win I would like the tropical explosion, it is the perfect color for a the dress that I have great difficultly finding the right jewelry for.June 3, 2011 – 1:46 pm

ChristaLaree - I also live in a place where it is not always sunny for grilling :-) The marinade sounds like a good basic marinade and the options for tweaking are limitless. Thanks!June 1, 2011 – 12:22 pm

Jonna - Hi Suzie,

I’ve never tried this marinade on pork, but I do think it would be fabulous as well.
Great idea, to marinate the pork steaks, and then grill then. They will be so tender!June 1, 2011 – 9:48 am

Suzietexus - How would this marinade work on pork steaks? I’m going to try it!June 1, 2011 – 9:40 am

Manda - I just made the cherry almond pound cake for a family dinner and it was so good. I am very excited to also try this. My husband loves grilling and barbecue, so I am sure we will use this quite a bit.June 1, 2011 – 9:40 am

Pam - I love the pretty in pink and can’t wait to try this marinade!June 1, 2011 – 9:39 am

Chris M. - Pretty in Pink. Thanks.May 31, 2011 – 8:17 pm

Puppydogs - Oh those look soo cute!
The marinade sounds delish! thanks!May 31, 2011 – 8:14 pm

NaDell - I love eating grilled food, but we rarely cook with ours because it’s the charcoal kind….We get to just visit my in laws and eat theirs. =) Your meal looks delicious and those bracelets are adorable!May 31, 2011 – 7:39 pm

Jonna - Hi Christina,

The steak you see in the pictures is Sirloin. Cheaper cuts of meat are also very good, as long as you let them marinate a good length of time.
The longer they sit in the marinade, the more flavorful and tender it will be. Make sure that you cut your pieces against or across the grain of the steak. It makes a big difference in chew quality! As far as cooking time, it really depends of the size and thickness of your steaks or chunks for kabobs. Some also like rare! The steaks in the picture probably cooked about 4 minutes per side for medium.May 31, 2011 – 6:25 pm

Christina @ This Woman Cooks! - This marinade sounds great. We just bought a grill so I’m looking for all kinds of ideas. Since we’re newbies I have to ask, what kind of beef did you use for the kabobs? How long do you cook them for?May 31, 2011 – 6:17 pm

ALMOND MARASCHINO POUND CAKE

I simply can’t make this Pound Cake very often. Why? I will eat the entire cake. It’s that good! This would certainly brighten up a rainy Memorial Day. It’s even better when you cut into it. This recipe comes from my friend Kelly Jane.  She is . . . and has always been a fabulous…

Jonna - Hi Kaara,
I’m pretty sure that it probably was caused from using a toaster oven. They are great, but don’t cook quite the same as a regular oven. I’ve never had this problem before. Possibly if using a toaster oven, pull it from the oven a bit quicker. As long as it didn’t go to waste….it was still a success!November 1, 2011 – 9:18 am

kaara - I tried this cake tonight to go along with the casarole. Everyone loved it! For some reason, I didn’t think it was as moist as pictured. I followed the directions, and baked it in a bunt pan but in a toaster convection oven. Is there any tips on gettig it moist?October 31, 2011 – 8:49 pm

Jonna - Hi Jackie
Add 3/4 to 1 cup of chopped nuts. Fold the chopped cherries and nuts in the batter at the end, before spreading the yummy batter into your greased bundt pan.September 4, 2011 – 4:09 pm

Jackie - Hi

I’m a little confused about the almonds, you have 3/4 cup chopped almonds and then you have 1chopped raw whole almonds? Also, you don’t mentioned in your written instructions when to add the cherries and almonds.September 1, 2011 – 7:45 am

Susan Porter - Oh My Gosh Woman!!!! This is to die for, and I don’t even like Maraschino Cherries! House smells wonderful.Sharing it with freinds or I will be wearing it. ThanksJune 10, 2011 – 11:49 am

Jonna - Hi Vicki,

I didn’t sift the cake flour, but if using All Purpose flour…I would sift it once for good measure.
You can also make this the day before, and store it in a cake keeper, and it will stay moist & yummy!
We love this pound cake. Let me know what you think
JonnaJune 9, 2011 – 5:47 pm

Vicki - I am making this for my ladies night next Friday as it looks fab! Did you sift the cake flour or just if using AP flour? Also, if you make this a day or 2 ahead, does it get better (as some cakes do) or does it dry out?June 9, 2011 – 4:54 pm

Katrina - Thank you so much for this recipe!!! I have made several variations of it this week. We started with a blueberry one, then cinnamon, next was chocolate chip (with a chocolate glaze), lemon and finally a cherry one. They turned out great. Thanks again for the recipe!June 8, 2011 – 9:00 pm

Jenny - This looks soooo good! I think I may have to try this one! :) June 6, 2011 – 7:34 pm

Jonna - Hey Niki,
Yup . . . I’ve used blueberries and Raspberries and it’s also very good! The pound cake left alone or just glazed is also yummy.June 2, 2011 – 8:48 am

Niki - This looks fantastic…. except I absolutely can not stand marashino cherries. Think it would work if substituted blueberries?June 2, 2011 – 7:43 am

Katty's Kitchen - Almond and cherry are two great tastes that taste great together! I just buzzed you up and hope you hit even higher on the top 9. Great pics and great cake! :) Love the name of your blog, too!May 29, 2011 – 8:00 pm

Adele Forbes - Take me away Almond Maraschino Pound Cake…I love it and can’t wait to make it. Thank you so very much!May 29, 2011 – 10:06 am

Shannon Carter - eeww lala mom! Thanks for bringing me some of that Poundcake! It was so good. I think I ate it all! Keep bringing your goodies to me. Love you!May 27, 2011 – 10:25 pm

Breenah - You have convinced me to get a bundt pan. That looks delish.May 27, 2011 – 7:39 pm

Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - Hi Joanie,
yes, you are correct. Eighteen large cupcakes. I would say at least 40 to 48 mini cupcakes.

JonnaSeptember 20, 2012 – 9:14 pm

Joanie - Hi. How many mini-cupcakes will this recipe make? Your comment said eighteen, but that can’t be correct, as the minis are way smaller than the standard. Thank you!September 20, 2012 – 7:43 pm

ChefDad - These are great photos!May 29, 2011 – 10:28 pm

Aimee - I can’t get over how cute those little bowls are! And your frosting looks delish. I completely understand sticking with the tried and true! Thanks for sharing.
AimeeMay 24, 2011 – 11:35 am

Chantri Keele - Oh they look SO Cute mom!! I am glad you like them. And Yes, Macy’s is where they are at. There are several colors shapes and sizes— too much fun!!
You know I love me some cupcakes… I wouldn’t be opposed if Dad dropped some off! Lol. I’m thinking even if I ate more than…. say 3… (or more) it doesn’t matter– my body is off the charts huge right now anyways!! pray for the next 2-3 weeks to go by FAST!! ;) Then I’m boycotting your website to get into shape… I don’t have good enough self control and I don’t hold up to temptation too well when it comes to sweets! Love you so much, you are amazing!!May 24, 2011 – 9:31 am

Jonna - Hi Missy,
I do believe that she found the bright colored bowls at Macy’s.
They were a nice surprise for Mothers Day. Right now Macy’s has tons of bright colored dishes.May 24, 2011 – 9:00 am

Missy - These look heavenly! Thanks for the recipe! Do you know where your daughter found those cute little bowls? My sister would love them. Thanks!May 23, 2011 – 10:50 pm

Yvonne @ TriedandTasty.com - Those bowls are darling! I love me some german chocolate cake, these look delicious! And you are right, I wouldn’t be able to just eat one!May 23, 2011 – 9:31 pm

VANILLA SUGAR BUTTERBALLS

I really shouldn’t have made these today. I’m weak . . . weak . . . weak. These Vanilla Sugar Butterballs are filled with creamy Milk Chocolate ganache and rolled in Vanilla Sugar.  If you look closely, you’ll see that I also rolled some of the cookies in confectioners sugar as well.  Either way ….

Jonna - Jeanne,
You are right! That’s the one. One side of the book is vanilla recipes, and you flip it over and the other side is Chocolate.
Thanks so much.
JonnaMay 23, 2011 – 7:08 am

Jeanne - Yum. I could be wrong but I think the cookbook is Chocolate and Vanilla by Gail Gand. I have been meaning to make these and now I may have to!May 23, 2011 – 6:00 am

Valerie M. - I came and saw this post right after I saw a Facebook invitation to “Dump Sugar for a Day” from a friend. Bwaaahaaaahaaa! This would make her faint. :) But it looks so delish to me!May 21, 2011 – 7:42 am

SHABBY APPLE WINNER & MACARONS

Hi there . It feels like I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been busy being Grandma . . . as well as trying to get over a case of Bronchitis . . . or something annoyingly similar! Two things today. I want to pass on the recipe for these chewy, melt in your mouth…

Continue Reading »

Aubrey - I just got a hand mixer for my birthday, and the first recipe that I made with it was this! and they turned out really well! I just made them last night, so I haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but they look amazing they even came out with the feet!August 2, 2012 – 12:37 pm

Jonna - Hi Lynn,

I’m so glad that you had success the first time. It motivates us to try try again! Here are a few things that might be making a difference. Make sure that you sift the almond flour combined with the confectioners together before adding to the whipped egg whites. Once you begin adding that mixture to the whipped egg whites, don’t overfold. Look for that “ribbon stage.” You can look at my other Macaron tutorials for pictures that might also help. I have only used Anne’s recipe one time. I still prefer the other recipe that you measure carefully by grams. Make sure that if you are coloring your macarons, that you use gel or powdered food coloring …..not liquid. I also let my piped macarons sit on top of the counter for at least one whole hour. You want them very dry before baking, this will help the feet form. I also place my baking sheet (one at a time) in the center of the oven. Don’t throw them out . . . just eat them ugly. They will still taste good!!May 31, 2011 – 5:10 pm

lynn - I love Anne’s recipe! I was lucky enough to see her macaron show and got so inspired to try it myself. I got “off my butt”:) and bought all the ingredients after her show and made 2 batches of macaron the following day. I could not believe how easy it was! I was jumping up and down and screaming…my kids thought we won the lottery. They were the most perfect looking macaron and so yummy! So, after that beginner’s luck day, I was on a roll and decided to bake some more…but lo and behold, I failed miserably. :( I didn’t do anything different. Followed exactly everything but my macarons didn’t have feet & cracked on top. All ten batches that I made (I kept trying and adjusting after every mishap) went straight to the trash. What do you think I’m doing wrong? When you measure your almond flour & confectioner’s sugar, do you pack them down? I’m thinking maybe my measurements are off? Please help, I will appreciate any advice. Thank you!May 30, 2011 – 10:09 pm

Krystal Bagley - Thank you SO much for the giveaway! I can’t even tell you the last time I had a new dress, so winning this has pretty much made my year :) I can’t wait for it to get here!

Yvonne @ TriedandTasty.com - I’ve missed you! Sorry you had Bronchitis, that’s no good! You are getting so good with the macaroons, some day I will attempt them! I’m getting better with my Silpat, I think the first run was practice gone wrong, ever since the cookies have turned out fabulous :) . Welcome back, looking forward to more yummy posts!May 16, 2011 – 9:28 pm

Valerie M. - I have always admired everyone’s macaroon’s, but have never been daring enough to try. And I haven’t actually ever eaten one…but I’m sure I’d love them. Salted banana caramel filling! Wow!

Congrats to the winner!!May 16, 2011 – 5:28 pm

DEEP DISH APPLE RASPBERRY CRUMB PIES

I can’t seem to stop buying cookbooks. I don’t take drugs . . . I don’t drink . . . I don’t swear very often . . . . but I’m hopelessly addicted to cookbooks! My  newest read is Sarabeth’s Bakery by Sarabeth Levine. It’s a stunner and it’s at least two inches thick. The…

PJ - I’ve had ramekins forever and never used them. I saw this recipe when it was posted and have been wanting to make these for awhile and it seems that these are perfect for starting the summer. These are in the oven right now and they are looking so good! Lots of oozing juice! Thanks for the awesome recipe. It smells so delicious!June 5, 2011 – 2:18 pm

RSA Now - Oh how cute! Sadly pie crust is my nemesis, if mine turn out HALF as good as yours I’ll be happy ;) May 6, 2011 – 2:54 pm

Jonna - Hi Alana,

That would work just fine. The apple pie filling is what I use for my normal Apple Pie. (Just use all the filling in one pie) If you are doing peaches, follow the other recipe and use all of it in one pie.

I would roll the pie crust out so that you have a good 1″ to 1 1/2 ” overhang, so that you can bring the pastry up and over the pie filling…..just like I did in the ramekins. Leave an area in the center of the pie open as well. Sprinkle all of the streusel over the top of one big pie. You probably will have to bake this for at least 1 hour at 350 degrees. I always start my pies in the center of the oven, and then the last 15 or 20 minutes, move it even lower, so that the bottom crust gets nice and brown as well. (Make sure that you put your pie on a cookie sheet, just in case it oozes over a bit. This makes the pie take a bit longer to cook on the bottom, but it sure does save oven-cleaning time!
JonnaMay 5, 2011 – 4:30 pm

Alana - Hi – I LOVE your website!! I was wondering if you think this recipe could be made as a regular-sized pie? Let me know.

Thanks!
-AlanaMay 5, 2011 – 4:03 pm

Jonna - Hi Niki,
The ramekins I use are Corningware and they are 7ounces.May 4, 2011 – 9:28 am

Niki - What size ramekins are you using?May 4, 2011 – 8:02 am

Jonna - Hi Jordan,
You are really funny. I run every morning and try to do at least three to four miles. I also love Pilates, and do that after I run. I do it, so that I’m not bigger than my skinny husband!!!! It’s tough. I also give most of what I bake away, unless I know that it’s something that my hubbie will eat.
JonnaMay 3, 2011 – 3:55 pm

Jonna - Justine, my husband just shakes his head! I buy most of my cookbooks from Barnes & Noble.
That way, I can sit down and really look through the book before I decide to buy it or not.
You are right though, we usually buy a book from it’s cover, and often are let down!
I do have way too many cookbooks. It’s getting hard to know where to put them.
JonnaMay 3, 2011 – 3:52 pm

Justine - The little pies look great. I am on restriction for buying too many cookbooks. My husband said I could not buy anymore until I have made every recipe in the books I already have. As you know you may have cookbook but when you get into it there may be only 2 or 3 good recipes that I like. Thanks for your wonderful recipes.May 3, 2011 – 3:45 pm

Jordan - Your pie crust recipe /method is my favorite! I have had such a hard time with pie crusts, but yours turns out really yummy every time. Just out of curiosity, How far or long do you run to burn off all your amazing treats? I’m pretty sure I will be running pretty far after I bake these beauties up!May 3, 2011 – 2:40 pm

Shannon Carter - Hey Mom…I just wanted to Thank You for those Cute Pies you made! They were beautiful and made a great Dessert for Blake! He loved them and could of ate more. Everything you make he could eat seconds of. Maybe we should come to your house everynight for dinner. It would make my life a lot easier. The pie crust was delious also and I really did hide it from Blake. It is really that good! Love You!May 3, 2011 – 1:51 pm

ENCHILADAS SUPREME

I’m quite excited to share this recipe with you. Really I am. 5 star . . . in my opinion! My sweeter half even had two helpings. That rarely occurs, he’s always watching his figure. lol. He even went so far as to say . . . “Those were good.” I combined two recipes, to…

Dawn Carlson - Just stumbled on your site via a link from Homestead Survival. You make my kind of recipes, yum!!December 3, 2012 – 10:21 am

Molly Woloszyn - Excited to try this recipe! Did I miss where the first cup of cheese is supposed to go? At the end, it says “top with the remaining cheese”, but it doesn’t ever say to add it in the recipe.

Thanks!July 26, 2012 – 5:16 pm

Melissa B. - I just made this last night and i have to say it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the recipe!!!!June 29, 2012 – 7:19 am

Trisha - These sound good and I will try them. I have never had enchiladas made with flour tortillas. I have ate them using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are usually smaller, you don’t fold in the ends, just roll up and place seam side down. Just a hint, both flour and corn tortillas roll better when warm. They will not roll if straight from the fridge, they will crack. Both freeze well, I let them set in the fridge or on counter to thaw. When warming several at a time place a short stack (5-10) on a piece of foil, fold foil over tortillas and seal remaining three sides. You don’t want to press the foil tight, leave air space. Place in preheated 350 oven 10-15 minutes, they are ready to roll or serve.June 17, 2012 – 6:24 pm

D - Enchiladas are made with corn tortillas. Technically speaking, these are “wet” burritos.November 22, 2011 – 12:34 pm

Katie Taylor - Seriously these enchiladas are the best enchiladas you can make at home and better than almost all of the enchiladas I’ve had at restaurants. We devoured them. Thanks for the deliciousness!October 5, 2011 – 10:59 pm

Jonna - Hi Pat,
Adding the sugar is totally optional. I do think it brings out the flavor of the tomatoes however.
Just one of the many weird things that I do! Thanks for leaving a sweet comment.
JonnaSeptember 21, 2011 – 3:12 pm

Pat - Jonna,
Love your blog- your photos of the food make me drool! I have a quick question about the enchiladas.. why do you add sugar to the enchilada sauce? Thanks!September 21, 2011 – 11:36 am

Niki - Made these last night and they were very good. Only problem I had was some of them wanted to stick to the bottom of the pan. I’d say a little more than the 1/4 cup sauce is needed on the bottom of the 8×13 pan. Other than that, great recipe. Had no leftovers!May 6, 2011 – 7:43 am

SarahM - Made these tonight for Cino de Mayo and loved them!May 5, 2011 – 6:41 pm

Berta - These look ‘almost’ as good as the ones I make . . . hahaha! I DID grow up in southern California and my best friends had last names like Hernandez, Gonzalez . . . so I do make pretty wicked enchiladas!!!! I did get some good ideas from yours – I like adding the corn and beans to your meat – nicely done . . . .AS ALWAYS, neighbor!May 1, 2011 – 9:04 am

joycee - We lived in South Texas for years so I’ve had about every kind of enchilada…but not this recipe! Can’t wait to try this, I’m betting we are going to love that cheezy enchilada sauce. Came over from Cliff Circle Views and can’t wait to go through your blog and recipes!April 29, 2011 – 9:17 pm

CARAMEL NUT BARS

Sometimes . . . I search high and low for recipes that my better half will enjoy. Those bars, cookies or cakes can’t be too sweet or include chocolate or frosting. Limited indeed. He is the reason that I give most of what I bake . . . away. He is the reason why I…

Your husband came from the same mold mine did, it sounds like. It’s nice to have healthy husbands to keep us in check, right? And my husband would have said the same thing about just wanting to eat the nuts. :) April 27, 2011 – 12:19 pm
